I know you are going to be shocked when you learn that those cartoon figures are not really talking. This nurse show is for fun, They are not going to Kaiser to treat people. It’s to bad how far off the scale this country has gone. You could spend some of your time lashing out at all of this nude junk on TV, or is that all right.

you are so wrong. Most of us nurses got into nursing for easy access to such drugs. Not all of us get high off of them, as Jackie said, just a little bump to get me through the day. This is the most realistic show I’ve ever seen in my life. Even more oddly, I have a family member that is EXACTLY like doctor O’Hara, down to wearing mismatched shoes and being chief of surgery, and she’s a chain smoker as well as doctor o’hara, buys clothes wears them once, throws them out, I swear they must have gotten that idea from her. But Nancy, I have to say, if you don’t think this show is realistic, then you are living in some kind of fantasy world. Personally, as a Registered Nurse, I like my pills, and have several co workers who do as well, there is a code in nursing, if you are a nurse, you know, you NEVER rat on another nurse. I have worked 70 hour weeks taking Percodan or Tylenol 4, and I’m fully functional. You should know, not ALL controlled substances are counted closely in a narcotic count like oxy. There are plenty of drugs on the med cart for the taking. Plus, in my state, wnen a pill gets dropped on the floor, you have to “throw it away”, and document it. In 25 years, I’ve never seen them rummaging through the garbage to make sure we actually threw them out.

wow how misinformed some people are. And to say that there’s no way that Jackie can really function as a nurse on the drugs? Do you actually know how many of us nurses do THE EXACT SAME THING as nurse Jackie? Why do you think we got into nursing to begin with?

okay like most of the comments on this forum, its a tv show. its entertainment and the nurses that think this show is offensive can all go complain about it to their preachers. Im an ER PA and even though this show is based on what we do, it is meant to represent the fact that everyone has their vices and this is one way to help depict hers. so all you negative nancys can go watch teletubbies as this show is meant to put a more dramatic grip on life. jeez people get stupider every generation. these nurses saying they are offended by the show (in my opinion) are a disgrace to the medical community. suck it up and move on with your lives, if you dont like it, dont wantch it, its that simple.

If you don’t think that this kind of thing DOES happen on occasion, you have led a very sheltered life, buddy. Of course the majority of people are not flushing body parts, but how many people go to work high on something? And how many do you think go to work high on something that is prescribed to them for a legitimate reason? Just because you need pain meds does not mean you don’t get the same effect as everyone else when you take them. Also, it’s a TV SHOW! The Smurfs isn’t realistic either, but I bet you don’t rant about it.

Interesting point of view, considering the fact that I take percocet every day for severe chronic back pain and am a full time student, wife and mother of 2. I was just invited to the National Society of Collegiate Scholars for my grades. There is no way that I would have been able to do all that I do, and so well, before the meds.
